I bit the bullet and did indigo on myself. It was way harder than I expected. My arm just couldn't get into the right position for the brush to work right. I definately struggled. The fiddly bits I added by the leaves didn't turn out right. They seem out of place and all going the wrong direction. I am pleased with how my dragon turned out. I love his cute little head with the horns. I think I'll stick to painting others and maybe just try some tribals on me. Any constructive feedback is greatly appreciated.

The more you do, the more confident you become. If you have perfect calm and attentive reflexivity (cultivate relaxed attentiveness and a sense of embracing a fundamentally unpredictable outcome, disgorging your insecurities) .. there is nothing quite as ZEN as Celtic Ancient Blue) You'll be fine. The problem with henna artists switching to Blue is that they have the erroneous perception that they are in control of the outcome. There is no control here. There is only negotiating with chemistry, skin, and the moment.
Ancient Blue is like learning to dance like nobody's watching.
(Though the Fabulous Gwyn always sez, "Work like nobody's watching. Dance like nobody's going to get hurt. Love like you're not getting paid. )
Yes, this seems to be the biggest challenge ..... Blue IS NOTHING LIKE HENNA. Totally different. Its not just apples and oranges, it's apples and ferrets.
I think the leaves have a lovely fluid quality, I like the range of blues you got. You certainly the beginnings of a confident hand. Embrace the flow, I also think you're doing really well it's difficult to work on yourself.
Look forward to seeing your husband's back if that's not too strange on so brief an aquaintance ;-)
